seems good except the scv point, $450 for 1 ? ... so the quotation is from direct contractor ?

1. Did you choose the aircon, or did your contractor include it as part of his package? If so, it probably is a non-inverter aircon, which is a few hundred dollars cheaper than an inverter equivalent. You should double check.

2. I'm not sure what type of door you're getting. It's best to go to Yon Tat doors to do a comparison. There are a lot of doors, and the quotation description really doesn't tell you much. You've got to actually see and feel the door. Prices range from $250 to $1000+ each, so you really should do your homework here!

3. In fact, for all the parts your contractor is supplying, i think it's best to shop around and price the market. So stuff like sinks, toilet bowls, fixtures. At least have an idea of the market prices for what you're getting. I personally think contractors make the most money by giving you a "lump" quote for a few items. eg. installing and supplying toilet bowls. Many ways they can hide extra cost in that quote becaue it is not specific enough. More difficult if they broke it down further to labour cost, and item cost.
